Alexa ranking VS Google rank

[sweetpink]

The Alexa rank is actually a trustworthy index of the page’s popularity.
BUT, the most important thing to remember about Alexa Traffic Rank is that it is a REVERSE indication. The LOWER the number is, the MORE hits the website gets. Figures from 10,000 and lower so indicates how good traffic is. So, Alexa Traffic Rank is and indicator for the whole website.

And

Google PR shows how authoritative a particular web page is for Google. It's given to a web page, not to a website and is a combination of many SEO factors: domain age, domain thrust rank (shows its importance of it to Google), inbound links (their quality and quantity), etc.
Simply put, Alexa is for traffic, while PR is for authority.

What's the most important for you?

I think first everyone would go in for Google PR than Alexa ranking as Google has been always the best and everyone want it at first and they are very eager in having Google PR.Also it is difficult to get a good Google PR.So I would select only Google PR and if needed I will go in for Alexa Ranking.

Alexa ranking is only determined by number of visitors to your page so it doesn't have much value unless you are in top 100000. But google PR will always have high value. I have a site that has google PR4 and alexa rank : 2500000.

I don't understand much about this Alexa ranking?If I want a Good Alexa rank what will be my rank in Alexa Ranking system?

I think everyone feels that Google Rank is very important and they need it.So don't waste time in getting Alexa rank.Good Google Page rank is more than enough for a site.

Google is the most important one when it comes to comparison between Google rank and Alexa rank and if you get high Google PR then obviouly Alexa and others too will you high PR.

On a final thought:

They're both pretty shaky. Alexa is interesting on traffic, but really easy to manipulate by just one person. Google's Pagerank is trying to rate "importance" by counting links, not traffic.
Taken together, they sort of give you an idea, but you could have a well regarded site on a subject that no one cares about that has decent pagerank and is in the top 50,000 on alexa because it's owner visits all the pages frequently.
